Hi Saikrishna,
Is there a top level link I can point people to from the main flightgear
download page? I'm not personally familiar with launchpad or the 'ppa'
acronym. I'd love to keep the entry on the flightgear page as concise as
possible. Is there a particular distribution this applies to?
Thanks,
Curt.
